Piedmont

Tucked within Oakland, the small city of Piedmont has a warm, welcoming community atmosphere. The locals are friendly and energetic, and Piedmont frequently hosts community-wide events, festivals, and celebrations. Commutes to the city are quick with the bus and BART system in place, and residents enjoy the abundant parks and walkable neighborhoods. The school systems are diverse and high-achieving, often winning major awards each year. Here, you’ll always find a familiar face while out shopping, a pleasant patch of green space to picnic on, and a top-tier school system. 

 

This tight-knit community is home to fantastic dining, entertainment, and shopping outlets. For authentic Italian fares, Oakland residents head to Dopo, while Mistura serves the best Peruvian fare in the city. If you’re in the market for something sweet, Piedmont has just what you need. Otete blends European and Asian baking traditions, and this dessert shop has a fantastic array of decadent desserts available for an afternoon treat. At local landmark Fentons Creamery, you can enjoy their one-of-a-kind flavors and traditional favorites. With everything from Toasted Almond to Mocha Royale, there is a taste for every palate. 

Piedmont Park is a sprawling 15-acre centerpiece in the community. With scenic outlooks boasting views of Mount Tamalpais and the San Francisco Bay, this is the perfect place to unwind.
